Although a week has passed since California voters overturned that state's Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage, the state has felt numerous aftershocks as gay rights activists have mounted large-scale protests directed at supporters of Prop 8, specifically the Mormon church.
... Demonstrations outside Mormon temples were reported over the weekend throughout California and more are anticipated nationwide. The Mormon church, however, is not the only Prop 8 supporter coming under criticism for its role in the controversial election, as Catholics and Evangelical churches have seen protests, as well.
An estimated 10,000 gay-rights protesters gathered in San Diego, Calif. outside Saddleback Church. The church is home to Pastor Rick Warren...
... Catholic churches were also protested Sunday, and one protest in Michigan turned ugly.
A group of about 30 gay rights activists from the group "Bash Back!" stormed into Mount Hope Church in Lansing. Mich. and unfurled a large rainbow flag at the pulpit. The group also tried to disrupt the Mass by banging on cans and shouting "Jesus was a homo."

HAHA My point exactly!
You are correct in this of course. Gun owners and second amendment supporters should consider this carefully.
Homosexual marriages are of course not the only marriages that are shams; many heterosexual marriages are also.
Maybe Christians should refer to their marriage as a “Christian Marriage” or something similar and demonstrate to the world the difference.
It is important for us Christians to insist that a majority may not restrict rights of a minority.
Does anyone take pictures of these protests?
They’d definitely want chicken, :o)
LOLOL Agreed!
The Book of Mormon does not change everything the Gospel says. It is a second witness for Christ. And trust me, I know what we believe about Christ. We believe He is the Creator of this world, operating under the direction of the Father. We believe he is one of three members of the Godhead, as I said, the Only Begotten of the Father. We believe that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are in perfect harmony, and are therefore one in the sense that Christ explained in John 17 that all members of His church are one. I don’t know where you are getting your information.
Churchs can "marry" two people of the same sex today, it's simply not recognized by civil authorities. Whis is the objective.
What is the basis of the right you assert for two males or two females to marry?
How does it differ from the right to marry multiple partners, historically far more accepted, or a close family member?
HuH? thre in one stuff? I see, so what you are really saying is mormons don't understand the trinity. (which certainly doesn't mean anything like "Jesus was his own son") The trinity is the essence of what God is, Jesus is the Son, the holy spirit is yet another entity of God.
In fact, Jesus was with God when God created the universe.
Someone should, should they turn violent, as in Michigan. Worshippers should also be prepared to be photographed so their identity can be established.
Since PC codes are in effect and liberalism now rules the roost, any stance against these militant homosexual fascists will be stopped by the media, politicians and anyone standing. Too bad the OT God is not around anymore. Perhaps Jehovah might get angry at their arrogance, immorality and ability to shame and hurt an old woman who carries the Cross of Christ! But, in this age of NT tolerance, we sit , smile and stoically say , well, to each his own. As more cultural standards collapse in this age of Obama. My guess is that Jesus will not be that tolerant of any of our sins, sexual or others at the Last Judgement.
...for the heart of man is deceitful..and no one can
understand it....
...that type of educated blindness is quite rampant in
many facets of the human populations of the world...no?
You got that right on Philly Nomad
Go back and read some of Philly’s or is it Filly’s prior postings.
He needs to pack his bags and hustle back to the welcoming arms of DU or KOS.
We “understand” the Trinity concept, to the extent it can be “understood.” We just don’t accept the Nicene Creed. We believe there are three personages, who are “one” in the sense that Christ explained it in John 17;21-23, when He prayed for His followers, saying, “That they may all be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one . . . .”
Not according to Christ. He's pretty adamant about that.
You are mistaken. Mormons believe Christ is the son Of God.
“They blame blacks, Latinos and churches for Prop 8 passing.”
I know they blame churches, that’s an easy target. Are they really blaming blacks and latinos now? It is true that blacks and latinos, generally speaking, tend to be much more homophobic than typical whites. But I was thinking they were pretty much left alone by the gay lobby because it’s not politically correct to criticize a minority.
